January 1976 National Geographic Magazine Life or Death for The Harp Seal, Haiti TH3
Under the ice with harp seals
TAKING ITS FIRST SWIM. a three-week-old harp seal comes face to lens with photographer William Curtsinger's underwater camera (above). Aided by his diving partner, Bora Merdsoy, background, Curtsinger swam among harp seals in their whelping grounds off Canada's Magdalen Islands. Here each year a controversial hunt for "white-coat" pups takes place. Elated with success and inflated for warmth (right), Bora and Bill end their adventure in ice-packed 28.5° F. seas. Their rare pictures accompany an article in this issue by Dr. David Lavigne, who reports that hunting is imperiling the harp seal species. You can share this important story with friends.
